Fifth Sunday of the month (Only in months with 5 Sundays)
An opportunity for those who have thought about coming out to shoot in a pistol match, but haven't done so yet.
The Introductory Match is sort of a "mini-match" for the pistol shooter who may feel not quite ready to participate in one of our regular matches. If you might be a beginner at pistol competition, we invite you to join us for this event.
Spectators are welcome, so bring the family & friends to cheer you on. Hearing and eye protection is required for all spectators and
shooters while at the range.
The focus of this event will be on range safety, match etiquette, safe gun handling, rules of IPSC competition, more safe gun
handling, and lots of fun. National Range Officer Institute certified Range Officers will guide each squad and direct each
shooter through every stage.
Participants will shoot a variety of targets so as to experience the flavor of the different types of
pistol matches held monthly at Palm Springs Gun Club.
Fourth Sunday of every month
Handgun shooting at a variety of targets, minimum .38 caliber. Follow link on our home page to USPSA for more
information. If you've seen a shooting competition on TV, it was probably IPSC. Field courses feature
runnin' & gunnin', - shooting around barricades and shooting from multiple shooting areas.
Fourth Saturday of every month
Five or six stages of reactive steel. Bring at least 100 rounds and be
prepared for lots of reloading!! #8 shot or larger is recommended to be
able to knock down targets.
Third Saturday of every month
The Speeding Zone match is actually a
training regimen designed by former PSGC member Nick Pruitt on his way to
winning the 1984 Steel Challenge. As such, the shooter truly competes against
the clock and him/her self. Each stage requires the shooter to perform distinct
fundamental skills of gun handling and marksmanship with speed and accuracy. One
stage involves acquiring multiple targets of varying sizes at various distances
with mandatory reloads while moving side-to-side across the bay. A similar stage
involves forward movement between parallel arrays of targets. One stage works on
the draw stroke and first shot placement with one shot per draw at various
distances. The 8 inch plate at 40 yards caused this stage to be named "The
Little Plate From Hell". Spontaneous celebratory dances usually denote a
shooter's initial success at this challenge. Shooting around both sides of a
barricade as well as one-hand-only shooting (both right and left hands) are
skills tested in another stage.
The match is shot Virginia count (exact round count only - no extra shots allowed to make up for misses). Each miss adds 5 seconds to the shooter's time for that stage. The match is composed of 126 shots fired. Back in the day, PSGC had several shooters with total scores consistently below 175. Joining the 400 club by shooting a score between 351 and 400 is considered the entry level for competitors. If you would like to take advantage of a structured training regimen to test and develop your personal best while enjoying a day at the range with friendly shooters - come out and join us. It's fun!
